the economy is an individual experience. you think things are getting better and you know if you have a full time or part time job. you have a white board with you this morning. let's point out some things on that. >> let's remember this. president obama on three measures have numbers that are worst than presidents that lost re-election, carter and bush 41. 7.8% unemployment today, that is higher than the unemployment rate under george h.w. bush of 7.6% an lost re-election. the second quarter gdp number, 1.3%, that is lower than the 4.3% that bush 41 had and he lost. the workforce participation right of 3.36 is lower than what jimmy carter had. president obama's numbers are below every president who has got even reelected and slightly above those of the presidents who got defeated. the question is, is he going to be the bottom of the guys who win or the top of the guys who lose? martha: good question and good white board. we need our glasses some of us to get a close look at that one, but we appreciate all the numbers there.
